Dovetailed Bench/Chest

Built for an entry way, this bench chest would also work well in a dining room or as a blanket chest at the foot of your bed.

This example is built from solid Cherry. It is fully hand-dovetailed at all four corners with breadboard ends on the lid, allowing for seasonal wood movement as well as strength against warping. The lid lifts using a solid brass piano hinge.

Besides many wood options, this chest can be built to any size depending on your needs. Custom options not listed can include internal compartments such as a sliding till as well as minor outward design changes. Please contact me to discuss these.

Finish is an oil/urethane mix followed by several coats of paste wax, hand buffed to satin.
